Good Afternoon Sausages,
I only worked a half day today so I have some time to catch up on the happenings with TSR. Here is a video of the final play of a high school football game which saw Encino Crepsi (Cal) take on Sherman Oaks Notre Dame (Cal). The plot thickened because this game was a do-or-die situation for both teams striving for the playoffs. With the score tied and barely seconds remaining on the clock, Crepsi took the snap and with a herculean effort from the QB to stay on his feet, he threw the ball to the diminutive playmaker near the sidelines who scooted across the field only to pitch it into the open arms of a waiting teammate to rumble the rest of the way in the endzone.
We've been seeing this recently with amateur sports. There was a middle school who ran a trick play right up the gap to score a touchdown against a dumbfounded defense and countless others come to mind with varying degrees of trickery and ingenuity. But his one is all heart. I love seeing how much those kids wanted to win and how much it would mean for them to make it to the playoffs. I also love seeing the smallest kid in the stadium playing an integral role in the deciding touchdown. You can tell Crepsi wanted it more. Look at #72 on Notre Dame just flat give up on the play. Come on, man!
With all of the distractions that professional and college athletes are having on and off the field, its nice to have a change of pace where a couple high schools are playing for the love of the game and a simple win can mean so much to them.
Well done, kids.
